Abstract
The inventive structure has a reflector substrate 1 comprising a brittle material, a first power supply member 2A electrically connected to a first electrode 4A and a second power supply member 2B electrically connected to a second electrode 4B. A first through hole 1a and a second through hole 1b are provided in the reflector substrate 1. The first power supply member 2A is inserted into and fixed to a first through hole 1a and the second power supply member 2B is inserted into and fixed to the second through hole 1b. A discharge lamp 3 is supported with the reflector substrate 1 through the power supply members 2A and 2B, while the discharge lamp is distant from the reflector substrate 1.
Claims11
A structure for supporting a discharge lamp with a reflector substrate comprising a brittle material, said discharge lamp comprising a first electrode and a second electrode for discharge and a luminous vessel, said structure comprising:
- a reflector substrate;
- a first powder supply member electrically connected to said first electrode;
- and
- a second power supply member electrically connected to said second electrode;
- wherein a first through hole and a second through hole are formed in said reflector substrate, wherein said first power supply member is inserted into and fixed in said first through hole, wherein said second power supply member is inserted into and fixed in said second through hole, and wherein said discharge lamp is supported with said reflector substrate through said first and second power supply members so that said discharge lamp is distant from said reflector substrate.
